Went crusing today

Way to go Bruce.  Here in the Central Valley (Fresno) we've been having the same weather.  I had to re-up my supply of oil free, odor free, no pore clogging, sensitive skin friendly sunscreen also. I've been out driving with Teby and Troy on some days and with my wife on the others. So glad i got my Speedster too.

 

Cruise on!! I think I found a drawing of El Guapo in his Speedster but without his surfboard!!

 

That can't be El Guapo.  That guy has hair. 

That can't be El Guapo. He's a bit too pale as well.

and his head is too small...and he's not grinning enough...

"That can't be El Guapo.  That guy has hair."

"That can't be El Guapo. He's a bit too pale as well."

"and his head is too small...and he's not grinning enough..."

 

You guys are all spot on but remember this is an artisit's interpretation and if the fashion magazines are willing to lighten up Beyonce's skin tone and reshape her in a few places don't think they wouldn't do it to El Guapo.....the most guapo hombre of all....

 

 

Now back to the regularly scheduled thread....

 

Great day for a cruise! Good on all of you that went out and enjoyed some top-down seat time! 

 

Oh, and all those El Guapo comments, right on! 

 

 

That is a great shot! 2007 or 2009? Remember when Chris came, before he got married and had kids? And that was the only time the Lane's made it as well.

 

Troy, you're a funny man!

I think that's '09.

I think so, too.   GREAT shot, though.....and no rain!

 

just went to Chris and his mom's dual birthday party, yesterday.  His two boys are now 2-1/2 and 4-1/2!!

Gordon,

 

It's about time you and that fine young lad come on back to Carlisle this year. Kids are big enough, and hey, it's only a week end.  Plus, if he waits much longer, then it ill be soccer, LittleLeague, summer camp, scouts, and -- well you know how it goes. Neer a free weekend anywhere.

Good point......I'll drop the hint.

I laugh every time on that one.

Yup, get his tail to Carlisle this year.  We haven't seen him since that picture was taken, I believe.

Troy, THAT made me laugh out loud! Pretty funny stuff you got up your sleeve. You should have labeled it "Actual Size". 

Robert, what kind of oil free, odor free, no pore clogging, sensitive skin friendly sunscreen do you use?

 

I don't like the way most of them feel.

 

I had surgery this morning for skin cancer on my scalp so I finally realize it is important to use it every day.

Michael,

 

I've had all skin cancers, including the dreaded melanoma, which has a poor prognosis if not caught in time.  For sunscreen, I have found that the higher numbers (50-70) work best for my cheap Irish skin.  Go to your nearest big chain drug store and shop.  When I shop for sunscreen, I squeeze a tiny drop on my palm, smell it and spread it on my arm.  When I find the one that bothers me the least, I buy a couple of the biggest bottles they make.  That lasts me for a year.  I apply to head, neck, arms, and legs.  Your Michigan weather allows for sunblock clothing and hats, an addition I was forced to adopt years ago.    

Michael,

The one I use is made by Nutregena. It's the 50 SPF. My wife originally got it for me as she has a very sensitive nose when it comes to odors and she really likes how this smells, or doesn't smell I should say. I find it lasts a long time, stays on pretty well when sweating and is easy to get off at the end of the day. It's not the cheapest but it works.

As a former red head now a shaved head, think 1/8th inch long hair,  grey haired dude I need sun screen for every day living. Don't forget to put the sun screen behind and inside the ears. That has always been a sensitive spot for me.

Thanks Robert and Jim. I have some of that but I have been using Hawaiian Tropical SPF 30. My dermatologist wants me to use a higher SPF. They want me to use sunscreen even when I am indoors because sunlight comes through the windows. My hair is 1/4" where I have it.

When I'm riding my bike, I get some pretty strange tan lines.

 

The very tip of my nose, my finger tips from the middle knuckle to the tips (I wear gel gloves), the inside of my forearms up to my shirt sleeve, the tops of my knees.

 

BUT....what really gets burnt are the tops of my ears......Maybe if I grow my hair longer and cover them up?

What is this "hair" thing of which you speak?

Yeah, I know.   A couple of guys I went to high school with are follicly challenged so, just to piss them off, I grew my hair out this winter much like Michael Landon on "Little Houes on the Prairie".

 

It's been a fun experience, especially learning how to keep it looking decent As it got long, but seein the look when I saw them at a local business function was worth it.
